~ What You Say Next Will Change Your World ~

Everything we do in life involves communication. Revolutionary yet simple, NVC is a practical and learnable process for communicating with empathy, honesty, confidence and compassion.

What is NVC?
Are you wondering what Compassionate or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is all about? It's a powerful process for inspiring compassionate connection and action, providing a set of skills to address all of these problems, from the most intimate relationships to global political conflicts. NVC can help prevent conflicts as well as peacefully resolve them.

Join us for a lively, heart-connecting session and learn the basics of NVC. Designed to be a fun and engaging experiential experience, this course will give you some new awareness and tools you can use to begin transforming your world, one conscious dialogue at a time.

This Workshop:
Overview of the NVC process
The Key Ingredients
Differentiation of NVC awareness/automatic response
Life-serving vs Life-alienating communication
Playing in the Field of Feelings & Needs
Translating Faux Feelings
Empathic Listening
The OFNR 4 step model

NVC supports connection with oneself and others so everyone's needs are equally valued. This allows people to create strategies and meaningful solutions that resolve issues and create thriving relationships in all aspects of life. Using NVC tools, participants will learn how to transform everyday blame, shame, and critical expression into interactions that focus on mutual human needs. People who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, increased understanding, deeper connection and satisfying conflict resolution.
